39th Annual Conference: Report
Below is a report on the last European Group conference in Chambery in France attended by over 120 delegates from 20 countries
The Chambery Conference
First of all many thanks to the organising
team for the 39th Annual Conference of the European Group for the
Study of Deviance and Social Control at the University de Savoie, located in the historic city of
Chambery, 3rd – 7th September 2011. Emma Bell was an excellent host for the five
day conference. Emma was helpfully
assisted by her students David, Maëlle, Amélie and Célie
throughout the conference. John Dennison provided great assistance and
technical support. Additional recognition
should be give to Jean Marie Ruiz for his translation of the opening talks by
Christian and Serge and Marie-Ange Mayoussier provided important administrative
support in the lead up to the conference.
The Chambery conference was
attended by more than 120 delegates from over 20 different countries including Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, the United Sates and the United Kingdom. It was encouraging that there were so many
new faces at the conference this year and that we were also able to welcome
back some people who have not been to a European Group conference for a number
of years. We very much hope many will wish to attend
future conferences. There were more than
100 papers on the programme, including three plenary panels (two on European immigration
policy and practice and one on penal policy) and two inspirational keynote
talks. The excursion to the Chartreuse
Mountains, on Sunday 4th September, included
a meal at a beautiful mountain restaurant and a fascinating trip to an historic
distillery, which included a short, but highly entertaining (and for some
hilarious), 3D film. There was also a
guided historical tour of the city.
On the afternoon of the 5th September 2011, during the break in the
immigration plenary panel, which consisted of a number of Italian delegates
returning home that evening to participate in the Italian National Strike on
the 6th September, the following European Group Resolution was
passed unanimously:
The
delegates attending the 39th European Group for the Study of Deviance and
Social Control express their support to all comrades in paid work and
unemployed taking action in the National Strike in Italy. We recognise the
significance of this mass action not only within Italy but also
internationally.
New Constitution
The new European Group Constitution, after
undergoing some minor amendments during the Annual General meeting on the 6th
September, was passed unanimously.
At
the Annual General Meeting [AGM] this year it was agreed that the European
Group would open a new community bank account so that a number of people from
the Group (namely the co-ordinator, treasurer and secretary) could have access
to existing funds. Current funds are
limited and it was agreed that in future money could only be spent from the new
European Group bank account if additional funds were raised. Suggestions for fundraising ideas and
donations would therefore be welcome over the coming months.
Athanasios
Chouliaras is to be the new Greek National Representative. Meropi Tzanetakis from Austria and Julien
Niklaus from Switzerland have also agreed to be new National Representatives
for their respective countries whilst members of a collective at Barcelona
University are consulting about a possible Spanish representative. Two
new members were also added to the Conference Steering Committee – Steve Tombs
and John Moore. The locations of the 41st
and 42nd Annual Conferences of the European Group were agreed - the
2013 Conference will be hosted in Oslo, Norway and the 2014 conference in
Liverpool, England. Further details
regarding the 40th Annual Conference in Cyprus in September 2012
will be announced shortly.
At
the AGM it was also agreed that we needed further clarification of the role of
the national representatives and the conference steering committee. As a result of this discussion there will be
further debate about how we can best support new National Representatives in
the coming weeks and months. The
discussion will be led by the current National Representatives and members of
the conference steering committee.
